November – January 1st

During the Christmas season, the city of Sarnia presents the annual “Celebration of Lights” in Centennial Park.

The event was created in 1984 by Dr. Wills Rawana and a committee funded by the retail chain Hudson’s Bay, and the national telecommunications company Telus.[134] From modest beginnings, the event has garnered numerous awards as it has grown, including second place in the 2002 Canadian Government’s Canada WinterLights competition.
